CBS Orders Breaking Bad Creator's Cop Drama
First developed it more than a decade ago
Hot off of his big Emmy win, Vince Gilligan has landed his next project.
An early drama spec from the Breaking Bad creator has been granted a series production order for the 2014-15 season. The project, which was first developed at CBS in 2002, centers on two detectives with very different world views who are teamed up. Together, they must answer the question: Are cynicism, guile and deception enough to clean up the semi-mean streets of Battle Creek, Michigan, in the face of a complete lack of resources, or is the exact opposite true -- it takes naïveté, trust and a boatload of resources?

Battle Creek, Michigan? Will the Kellogg's Company be getting involved with pushing illicit drugs?
The last thing this world needs is another cop drama. No more bootlicking statist cheerleading tv shows, please.
Using YouTube as a library, there are several years of episodes of a new cop show that is long overdue: From shooting dogs, to checkpoint insanity to SWAT nonsense and all sorts of thuggery, there's an award winning production just waiting to happen.
